s. James Shotwell of UnderTheGunReview said, "The rise of T. Mills has been unlike any other in recent memory, and ''All I Wanna Do'' is further proof he is destined for big things in the not too distant future. His first releases seem like child’s play compared to the quality and anthemic nature of this material, but it’s also largely a departure from the sound that helped build his brand. I’m not sure fans will embrace the change as fast as the execs at Sony probably would like, but with the right marketing campaign 2014 could quickly become a very exciting year for T. Mills and his ever-growing bandwagon of followers."
